This information would have helped Shelby 40 years ago.. But he probably would argue that wouldn't have made any difference or that the technology would have not remained a secrete for long. There are resons for departing from some of the traditional body arrangements. My car is a replica and WA registertraion says KitV first . A cowl induction scoop would help my situation. Now to find a cowl scoop that would look appropriate on a Cobra hood. I'm up to bonding but a new layup seems intimidating. I'd Like to get all this done before getting car repainted. I know a change is neccessary and a scoop would be step to an end. Do you remember reading anewbie asking what you do once the Cobra replica is finished?
How or what did you come up with the rear edge ? Did the rear of the scoop follow the windsheid or end at the hood line edge or does the top extend over and open on sides.? What is the optimum shape?
